Fun Fact! The International Food Information Council (IFIC) explains that molasses is a product of the sugar beet and sugar cane refinement processes. Sugar cane molasses is preferred for human consumption, while sugar beet molasses is typically used in animal feed because of its bitter flavor.
The USDA has established standards for three grades of cane molasses. More refining yields a darker color, lower sugar content, and stronger flavor, and the most refined grade is called “blackstrap.” Per tablespoon, molasses contains about 60 calories and about 15 g of total sugars, similar to honey and agave syrup, but it offers more nutrients, such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. IFIC notes that molasses is still considered an added sugar, with the same intake recommendations as other added sugars.
